This is a good development for the following reasons:

1) It will distract from the prison scandal -- which the public will begin to forget about.

2) It will be seen as a sign that the president is holding people accountable for perceived intelligence failures.

3) Tenet likes Bush personally (far, far better than he liked Clinton) and is more likely to write a Clinton-bashing book that a Bush-bashing book.

4) Confirmation hearings are a great way for the GOP to showcase Democrat obstructionism and shrillness -- which will not play well with the public.

5) Confirmation hearings will distract from the 'Rat Convention and draw public attention, reducing any "bounce" Kerry would normally get -- because coverage of the convention will be reduced by coverage of hearings.

All and all, this is VERY good news.

Feel free to weigh-in here with your opinion.

1. I agree with the posters' points

though not that it is very good news. I think it was a strategically planned item to deal with some of the problems currently surfacing.

3. But it won't stop any indictments

And a resignation is never good news. It just spotlights more problems.

2. The poster conveniently forgot

about the indictments coming down. BTW, he also probably thinks Bush hiring a lawyer is "good news."

5. A total lack of responsibility

The right seems to have a dettachment from the fall out of their actions. They see everything as a win at any cost scenario. If something horrible happens as a result of their actions they seem to see no ownership of the problem. Whatever they can do to make it vanish they will do.
